Ron,

The Seduction series of airplanes are all kits except for the FunFly which is an ARC.

The kit is all laser-cut. If you've ever built a SIG kit take that and make it a lot better and you know how the quality is on these. They are about $140 shipped from Singapore or $190 if you buy them in the US. Service from Singapore Hobbies is great and you can read some more about it in the link below.

The construction of this model really shows that we have been over-building our models. The amount of wood that has been eliminated from this thing is huge. There is a lot to learn from this thing.

The horizontal tail is airfoiled and lighter than a stick built structure and a lot stronger. The rudder is tapered and just as strong. There is no flexing going on in any part of the model. The wing sheeting is really cut down and the whole wing except for the main spar is made from very light balsa. With some more sanding, micro servos, lighter wheels, and other things 4 lb's would not be impossible.

The Fuselage is somewhere around 53 inches and the wing is somewhere around 55! Weight is 4.5 lb's or under with a YS .63. The fuel tank goes on the CG and the rudder and elevator servos are mounted in the tail. The gear on my version (The Ono Special) is anodized. On both versions of the Freestyle the gear is swept back and connected to a VERY strong attachment point. The front end is very strong, but still very light.

There is a lot of rudder authority. It will do great flat spins, easy knife edge loops, and the best snap rolls I have ever seen. Elevator has just as much authority. The ailerons on mine are big enough for a very fast roll rate. It rolls faster than my profiles and my Somethin' Extra's. The only flaw in the design and flying is that it is pretty unstable in upright harriers. Other than that, it's awesome! The center section of the wing is a pattern type airfoil and it changes as you go outwards. At the tip it just looks like a small version of a FunFly airfoil! There is no coupling with rudder and barely any down elevator needed for inverted flight and I think I could move the CG back a little bit more to change that. There is no tip stall or high speed snap with too much elevator.

Here is the original thread that started it all-
